Drinks & Cocktails with Cognac
A brandy coming from the area around Cognac in western France. There are several sub-regions, and three “age labels”: XO (extra old, stored at least seven years in cask), Napoleon (with a minimum of six years in cask), and VS (very special, at least three years in cask). Cognac is very nice straight, consumed from a brandy sniffer, but also a great mixer.
